Added internal modem script support links from Apple, and Ross Barkman
Mac OS X modem scripts are stored in your Library Folder (at the root level of the hard drive)'s
Modem Scripts Folder. Some of these scripts may work with Mac OS X if you don't find them in your folder.
If any don't, please sign my guestbook and let me know if it doesn't
work in Mac OS X or Mac OS 9.1 or earlier.
Timeport and Simexpress drivers formerly at this site have been taken down. It appears those only
contain software for retrieving Personal Information Manager data from the cell phone, and
in no way offer connections to the net.
The following is a list of modem
scripts available for
use with Apple Macintosh OpenTransport's two dialers: OT/PPP (found
on System 7.6 through 8.1 before the i-Mac's release) and
Preliminary info:
1. Important note to those with internal modems
2. (To skip this info and go straight to the scripts)
3. These scripts only work with Remote Access and OT/PPP (found on System 8.1 through 9.2.2 on the i-Mac
and later machines).
You will need to setup your web browser to use Stuffit Expander
to extract these
files using the .hqx extension in order to download them. Upon
extracting them
to your download folder, drag the file into the System Folder's
Extensions Folder
and then into the Modem Scripts folder within the Extensions folder.
Then using the Modem control select the script from the modem
menu within the Modem window. To be on the safe side, if you have an internal
modem, restart the Mac, zap the PRAM
(command-option-p-r, all four keys must be held down at startup)
Turn off Appletalk in the Appletalk control panel, or set it to
be Remote Only
and then connect your modem. If you have no Appletalk control
panel because you are using Mac OS 8.1 or earlier
use the Chooser to turn of Appletalk. Mac OS 8.5 or later you should
not use the Chooser to turn of Appletalk, and
you will have to find the control panel * Please note if you are using FreePPP, InterPPP,
or Config PPP to connect,
these scripts will not work.
Only people using the PPP control panel or Remote Access control
panel to connect can use these scripts.
Also these are NOT to be used as the script for Connect to a Command
line host option. These are only for the
Modem control panel.
The scripts that used to be available on my page are no longer maintained, and I have removed the links to them.
For codes found in modem initialization strings and what they mean,
visit Zoltrix's site
A mirror of Ricochet scripts is available at Thomas Tempelmann's website Ian vannman's Siemens wireless modem script
What are these files you may ask?
These files properly command your modem to use the highest data
speed possible when
connecting via an internet provider.
Disclaimer: There are no guarantees here, if you find a script
that does not work,
and you have the modem specified by the script, please sign the
guestbook
and I will remove it
